What I did was copied all the drawn elements to a new page and "cleared" the old one. At least I think that's what I did. Editing the file probably would have been easier.... > I don't remember much about what I did with the background > rendering, but it looks like I have the postscript rendered into > a pixmap, and then call the pixmap as a graphic, which means > that it is probably altogether more convenient to use the > "Import Graphic" function so that the document is an object. > But anyway, I think hand-editing the file will get rid of it. Hmm. I guess I could render a bitmap. I was using a postscript from a pdf "print" of a DXF file. > I couldn't get the "render background image" function to work > right when I tried it now; it generated an image and dropped it > in the output file, but it wouldn't render it. I think I need > to revisit that feature. I just tried a postscript print (rather than PDF and pdftops) and it did not display. And I did not find any text "imagedata". From what I'm seeing it looks like it drew it as vector. I have attached the pdf, the ps, and the xcircuit file so you can look at them. And there is no rush for me. I finish what I was trying to do that time. Being able to remove a background postscript would probably be nice for the future - even if it's just to make xcircuit more complete. But don't feel pressure from me! I will do what I can to help. I can't say I use xcicruit every day, but I doubt there is ever a week that I don't. And sometimes it's many times a day!! So thanks for the quality software!
